Kathleen is fantastic~ we have an 8 yr old rescue Golden with separation anxiety; we have only lived in Eugene since April and usually take him with us when we camp or go places. We had to be in DC for a week, and we felt Teddy needed the stability and security of staying in his own home. Kathleen made an extra trip to reacquaint with Teddy the night before we went out of town ...

Kathleen is fantastic~ we have an 8 yr old rescue Golden with separation anxiety; we have only lived in Eugene since April and usually take him with us when we camp or go places. We had to be in DC for a week, and we felt Teddy needed the stability and security of staying in his own home. Kathleen made an extra trip to reacquaint with Teddy the night before we went out of town; she sent daily text msg's and photos; and she took Teddy on long walks. From her first get-acquainted visit, it was clear that Kathleen is a 'dog-person' and that she and Teddy were going to be good together. It was a real blessing to find someone as responsible and positive to take care of our sweet boy and our home. We highly recommend her!

We've had Kathleen stay with our Beau several times. We always come home to a happy, relaxed and well cared for dog and a clean house. We cannot recommend her enough and will be booking with her again in the future!

Everything was wonderful! The last time we hired a dog sitter it was a total disaster, so we were a bit nervous about this. However, Kathleen was reliable, punctual, left our house neat and clean and above all, our dog was happy, relaxed and well cared for. We will be booking Kathleen again!!

College Aged Dog Lover

I am a graduate of the University of Washington, recently evacuated from Peace Corps service in Guinea. I would love to get a dog of my own but I don't know where I will be next year. I would love to watch your dog while you are gone.

About this sitter:I recently graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Biology. I and have moved back to Eugene after having been evacuated from the Peace Corps in Guinea. I am currently working for a biotech start up downtown with a very flexible schedule. I also occasionally work from home so I have a lot of time to spend with your pets. I would love to get a dog of my own as soon as I get settled when I get back but in the meantime I would love to watch your dog(s) while you are gone. I also love animals of any shape and size and am happy to take care of cats, horses, pocket pets, or anyone else in your household. I have now been sitting with Rover for over three years and have loved all of the great dogs and people that I have met.

I grew up volunteering at Greenhill Humane society as well as watching the pets of my friends and family. More recently I have been working at a vet clinic and spent several summers on a ranch taking care of a variety of animals of all sizes including horses, goats and cattle. I also had a dog of my own while in Guinea, unfortunately due to the circumstances of my leaving I wasn't able to bring her home with me.

Why I love dog sittingI have been a dog lover my whole life. I have dog and house sat for many family friends and neighbors. I also spent several years volunteering at Greenhill Humane Society in Eugene, Oregon. In college I worked with a vet clinic in Seattle and was in charge of the dogs who there for boarding. I had my own dog during Peace Corps service in Guinea but unfortunately I had to leave her there when we were evacuated.

My experience administering medicationI am comfortable administering medication. I have experience working at a vet clinic and have a lot of experience giving all sorts of medications.
